• Leasehold Mortgages Subject to the requirements of this Article XX, Lessee may assign or encumber Lessee’s interest in the Leasehold as security for any debt or obligation of Lessee [to an Institutional Investor] by a Leasehold Mortgage containing such terms and provisions as Lessee may, in its sole discretion, deem fit and proper; provided, however, that all right, title and interest acquired by such Leasehold Mortgagee under such Leasehold Mortgage from Lessee shall be subject to this Lease and to the rights and interests of Lessor herein and to the rights of any holder of a Fee Mortgage arising under or by virtue of this Lease. Lessor shall have the right to request and, Lessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, a non-disturbance agreement from any Leasehold Mortgagee, in favor of Lessor and any holder of a Fee Mortgage, confirming that the provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of this Section 20.2, will be honored by and binding upon any Leasehold Mortgagee, and further containing such other terms and conditions as the holder of a Fee Mortgage shall reasonably request, including attornment of Lessee to the holder of the Fee Mortgage in the event the holder of the Fee Mortgage succeeds to the interest of Lessor hereunder.

• Assignment and Subletting (a) Except as provided in subsection (d) below, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, provided, however, if Landlord chooses not to recapture the space proposed to be subleased or assigned as provided in Section 10.2, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.1. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.2 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Project if Landlord has space then available that would satisfy such other tenant’s space needs. Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.

• Assignment and Subleasing During the Lease Term, the Lessee may assign, sublease or transfer to any Person, at any time, in whole or in part, its right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease or any portion of the Leased Property without the prior written consent of the Lessor so long as (v) any such assignment, sublease or transfer would not subject the Lessor to a violation of laws or regulations applicable to the Lessor including those promulgated by OFAC, (w) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, after giving effect to such assignment, sublease or transfer, would exist, (x) any such sublease is expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease, (y) Lessee remains liable for all obligations under this Lease after giving effect to any such assignment, sublease or transfer, and (z) Lessor retains all of its interests in and benefits of the Cash Collateral and receives prior certification thereof from the Lessee and such other evidence thereof as the Lessor may reasonably request. Unless and until Lessee has exercised the Early Termination Option or the Purchase Option, no sublease may have a term that extends beyond the Base Term Expiration Date. In all cases, Lessee will promptly provide Lessor copies of each such assignment, sublease or transfer. No sublease will discharge or diminish any of the Lessee’s obligations hereunder and the Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under the Lease with respect to the Leased Property and the Operative Documents to which it is a party. Each sublease permitted hereby shall be made and shall expressly provide in writing that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and the rights of the Lessor hereunder, shall expressly provide for the surrender of the Leased Property by the sublessee at the election of the Lessor after an Event of Default, shall provide that such provisions may be directly enforced by the Lessor and shall provide that such sublessee expressly agrees to comply with the use restrictions set forth in Article X hereof. Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Article XII, Lessee may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents unless (a) on the effective date of any such assignment and transfer, no Event of Default exists, (b) the parties enter into an assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, (c) all filings of or in respect of any such assignment and transfer necessary to protect the rights of the Lessor in the Leased Property and the other Operative Documents are made in a timely fashion, (d) without limiting any provisions of this Article XII, any such assignment and transfer shall include an appropriate provision for the operation, maintenance and insurance of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof, (e) the Lessor shall have received opinions of counsel with respect thereto and such other matters as the Lessor may reasonably request, (f) such assignment and transfer will not result in a Material Adverse Effect, (g) such assignment and transfer will not result in the imposition of any unindemnified Taxes, (h) the Lessor shall have received such other documents and instruments and the Lessee shall take such further acts as the Lessor may reasonably request to evidence and facilitate such assignment and transfer, provided that no such document or instrument shall increase Lessee’s obligations or diminish Lessee’s rights under the Operative Documents or otherwise, and (i) such assignment and transfer will not, with respect to the Lessor, violate the use restrictions set forth in Article X hereof or Applicable Laws and provided, further that, Lessee shall provide to the Lessor not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such assignment or transfer, such notice to identify the assignee or transferee. No such assignment and transfer will diminish or discharge any of the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease or the other Operative Documents.

• Assignment and Subletting by Tenant 4.16.1 Except with respect to transfers pursuant to 4.16.7, below, Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, nor allow the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by another, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or denied in accordance with this paragraph. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of all sums payable under this Lease and for compliance with all of its other obligations as tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum from any assignee, sublessee, transferee, mortgagee or encumbrance holder shall not be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of any such conveyance. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and written notice to Tenant (unless Tenant is a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding, in which event no notice shall be required), if the Premises or any part of the Premises are then subject to an assignment or subletting, Landlord may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rents against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s right of direct collection shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law. Tenant makes an absolute assignment to Landlord of such assignments and subleases and any rent, Lease Security Deposits and other sums payable under such assignments and subleases as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

• Leasehold Mortgage Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01, Lessee shall have the right, without Lessor’s or Mortgagee’s consent, to collaterally assign, pledge and/or mortgage all of Lessee’s rights and interests under this Lease, its interest in any sublease of the Premises, or the rentals payable thereunder, to any provider of construction, interim, or long-term financing, or any refinancing thereof, and any trustee or agent acting on their behalf (“Lessee Lenders”) as security for Lessee’s obligations under all documents and instruments evidencing, guaranteeing or executed by Lessee in connection with any said financing (“Financing Documents”), on the condition that (i) said Lessee Lenders are investors customarily in the business of making loans, (ii) Lessee is limited to one mortgagee, assignee or pledgee at a time, (iii) Lessor obtains copies of all Financing Documents, (iv) that any assignees or subtenants shall not have such right to mortgage, assign or pledge this Lease, except to the extent the assignment is a Deemed Assignment, (v) that any proposed purchaser at foreclosure or grantee in lieu of foreclosure, or a guarantor of its obligations hereunder, meet the requirements to permit Lessee to be released from liability under this Lease, as set forth in Section 4.05 above, (vi) the Financing Documents not alter any terms of this Lease (including use of the Net Proceeds), (vii) any assignee, purchaser at foreclosure or grantee in lieu of foreclosure shall restore the Security Deposit, (viii) the Lessee Lenders have no greater rights for notice and cure of Lessee Events of Default except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, and (ix) there be no uncured Event of Default hereunder. In the event of such a collateral assignment, pledge and/or mortgage and upon occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee under this Lease or the Financing Documents, as the case may be, the Lessee Lenders shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume, all of the rights, interests and obligations of Lessee thereafter arising under this Lease. Lessor or Lessee, upon request of the other, shall promptly execute and deliver to the requesting party, and/or Lessee Lenders or Mortgagee, a written consent to any such collateral assignment, pledge and/or mortgage of this Lease and such written certificates as to the due authorization, execution and delivery by the executing party, and enforceability against Lessor or Lessee of this Lease as Lessor or Lessee and/or Lessee Lenders and Mortgagee may reasonably request; provided, however, in no event and under no circumstances shall any assignment, pledge or mortgage of Lessee’s rights and interests under this Lease to Lessee Lenders be superior to any pledge or mortgage of the Premises by Lessor to Mortgagee or to a pledge or grant of the Lease to Mortgagee as security for said financing or refinancing, and, accordingly, Lessee acknowledges that any assignment, pledge and/or mortgage of this Lease to Lessee Lenders will be subordinate to Lessor’s financing and the rights thereunder, whether entered into now or at any time in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever Lessor shall send notice of default to Lessee, Lessor shall, at such time, also send notice of such default to Lessee Lenders (if adequate contact information has been provided to Lessor) in the same manner as notices are required hereunder and Lessee Lenders shall have the same period in which to cure as does Lessee plus five (5) days.

• ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE Provided there are no Events of Defaults hereunder or under the Note Agreement, as defined herein and therein, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Demised Premises subject to the terms hereof. Tenant shall not assign this Lease without the exclusive prior written consent of Landlord and any mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease to any person which is a successor to Tenant as permitted by the terms of the Note Agreement. If this Lease is assigned, Lessor may collect Base Rent and Additional Rent directly from such assignee. If any part of the Demised Premises is sublet and any Event of Default exists hereunder, Landlord may collect Base Rent and Additional Rent from such subtenant. Any assignment or sublease shall require the assignee or subtenant to comply with all terms of this Lease except for any sublease term, which shall be at Tenant's discretion (but in no event extend beyond the term of this Lease), and a duplicate original of such sublease or assignment shall be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such sublease or assignment. Any assignee shall assume, by instrument in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, the due performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including any accrued obligations at the time of the effective date of the assignment, and such assumption agreement shall state that the same is made by the assignee for the express benefit of Landlord as a third party beneficiary thereof. Each sublease permitted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and to all of the rights of Landlord hereunder; and in the event this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord and waive any rights the sublessee may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a result of the termination of this Lease. No sublease shall be permitted hereby unless as a condition to effectiveness thereof, Tenant shall have assigned to Landlord and Landlord shall have effectively assigned to mortgagee such sublease. Tenant agrees to pay on behalf of Landlord any and all costs of Landlord or otherwise occasioned by such assignment or subletting, including without limitation, the cost of any alteration, addition, improvement or other renovation or refurbishment to the Demised Premises made in connection with such assignment or subletting and any cost imposed by any governmental authority in connection with any of the foregoing. No assignment or sublease shall be made unless any guarantor of the Tenant's obligations or any party responsible for Tenant's obligations shall give its written consent to such assignment or sublease and confirm that its obligations shall not be affected by such assignment or sublease, and, provided, further, that if any modification to the Lease is proposed to be made after such assignment or sublease, then, at Landlord's or mortgagee's option, all prior assignors and sublessors, and all such obligated parties, shall be required to confirm in writing their approval of such modification, and that their obligations continue as to the Lease as so modified. No assignment or subletting under this paragraph shall relieve Tenant (or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under the Lease or any assignee) of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment or subletting of this Lease which is not in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be of no effect and void. Except as permitted hereby, Tenant shall not transfer, sublet, assign or otherwise encumber its interest in the Lease or the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary and notwithstanding any consent by Landlord to any sublease of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, or to any assignment of this Lease or of Tenant's interest or estate in the Demised Premises, no sublessee shall assign its sublease nor further sublease the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, and no assignee shall further assign or sublet its interest in this Lease or its interest or estate in the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent in each and every instance which consent may be withheld or delayed as above provided. No such further assignment or subleasing shall relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations in this Lease contained.

• Assignments and Subletting OCCUPANT shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or allow any other person or entity to use or occupy any or all of the FACILITY without the prior written consent of the DISTRICT, which consent may be granted or withheld at the DISTRICT’S sole discretion.

• Assignment of Leases The Assignment of Leases creates a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the Leases, subject only to a license granted to Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the Leases, including the right to operate the Property. No Person other than Lender has any interest in or assignment of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.

• Assignment of Lease 10.01. The Tenant may not assign the Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises or otherwise grant possession of the Premises or any portion thereof to any other person without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the Tenant be released or discharged from the full performance of this Lease and the payment of all rents and monies and the observance of all covenants, agreements, terms and conditions herein contained and any such consent granted by the Landlord shall not be deemed or implied as consent to any further or subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event this Lease is assigned or all or a portion of the Premises sublet, the Tenant shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Landlord in any such assignment or subletting, including the Landlord’s legal costs in connection therewith and a non-refundable amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) in advance to the Landlord, representing a reasonable cost to the Landlord for reviewing such application. Any transferee shall enter into an agreement directly with the Landlord covenanting to be bound by all of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder to the extent applicable to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01 or anything else contained herein, so long as Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable curative period provided for in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of this Lease, including without limitation, the obligation of any transferee to enter into an agreement directly with the Landlord covenanting to be bound by all of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder to the extent applicable, to assign this Lease and/or sublease the whole or part of the Premises to:
